The new Man of Steel has been chosen! Big thanks out to FilmRot.Com for notifying me of the following:
Less than a week from Christopher Reeves tragic death word has come down that the new Bryan Singer helmed Superman film has been cast. Quoting an “anonymous” source that also supplied accurate casting rumors for Fantastic Four and Batman Begins, Latino Review is officially naming the new Supes as….
Brandon Routh!!!
Er… If you are like me, you have no idea who Brandon is or why Singer thinks he might make a good man of steel. Singer told The Site That Shall No Longer Be Mentioned last week that he was commited to casting an unknown, and boy, he wasn’t kidding! Brandon’s IMDB resume doesn’t reveal any immediate insight. Obviously Singer sees something more in Routh than his filmography.
Well, what can be said? The kid has the look for Superman… and I love the idea of going with an unknown actor… so I’ll just put faith in Singer and trust this is the right guy. Man, you just KNOW that this movie (with Singer at the helm) is gonna blow the roof off! I can’t wait. Read the whole articel here.
